ONDON: Three Britons were cleared on Tuesday of helping to plot the deadly London suicide bombings in July 2005 in the first trial over the capital’s worst peacetime attack which killed 52 people.
Mohammed Shakil, Sadeer Saleem and Waheed Ali were accused of scouting London for possible targets with two of the four young British Muslims who detonated homemade devices in coordinated attacks on three underground trains and a bus.
Prosecutors had said the three men knew the bombers from the tightly-knit town of Beeston in northern England, and although they had not been directly involved in the bombings, they had helped put the plot together.
But the men said they had been visiting tourist attractions in the capital. A jury at London’s Kingston Crown Court found them not guilty of conspiracy to cause explosions, a UK-based news agency reported.
